[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This to me is it. It is bizarre -- the elevation of athletics over any other activity connected to the university community (arts, debate, chess, science, what have you). It is uniquely American. [/quote] Yes it is. And you know that nearly everything about the American system of higher education is different also, the most desirable in the world. You can't just pick out the one you don't like and demand it be removed. It has been part of our system for about 170 years. https://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/1846/College-Athletics-HISTORY-ATHLETICS-IN-U-S-COLLEGES-UNIVERSITIES.html Read the article. You can dislike it, sure. But the colleges feel it is part of their mission and until they decide it no longer is, it is here to stay.[/quote]
